In an appearance at the PeaceJam Youth Conference in Denver
November 15, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 67,
Compared discrimination against gays to apartheid, reported
The Rocky Mountain News.

When asked by a conference attendee which injustice he most
Wants to reverse, Tu Tu said, "Will you give me two?"

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

He then called on world leaders to forgive the debts of
Developing nations and said persecution of gays is as wrong
As apartheid because gayness is no more of a choice than race.

"For me it's a matter of human rights and a deeply theological
issue," he said. "I believe they (gays) are as much God's
children as anyone….I can't be part of a scheme for clobbering
them.
Australian Police Nix Tom of Finland Book

Police in St. Kilda, Victoria, Australia—a section of Melbourne—
have ordered the public library to remove a book of Tom of
Finland drawings after patron Steve Jones stumbled upon it
And freaked out.

The Police Gaming and Vice Squad said the drawings of
Hypermacho hunks having sex breach censorship laws.

Jones, who picketed the library for a week to draw
attention to his distress, told reporters: "I'm not for
censorship and I'm not a moral crusader, but I find this
totally repugnant."

Library officials acknowledged that the book is "sexually
explicit" but said a lot of other library material is also.
